From holiday history
March 8 has been celebrated annually in many countries for many years. This day is often associated with warmth, spring and femininity, but not everyone knows the true context of International Women’s Day.
The fact is that the basis for the holiday was laid by the Second International Conference of Socialists, which took place in Copenhagen in 1910. One of the main goals was the struggle for universal suffrage for women.
Previously, women also demonstrated to demand better working conditions, which contributed to the rights that women now have. Indeed, now almost all professions are accessible to the fair sex, as well as to men.
